    Elder Scrolls : Skyrim

    I have a question... Given the open world nature of the game, in theory anything can happen. But I had an odd event the other day. I was on the A Night to Remember storyline, and woke up in Morgaz or whatever that city is in the far west side of the map. Anyways, after picking up some...

    the tablet war is heating up

    A poster after my own heart. An icon of the Lady of Pain :) I haven't handled the Prime yet, but it's supposedly very much similar to the ASUS Ultrabooks, and those are pretty sharp. Performance is supposed to be quicker, though not on every single app.....I guess it depends on whether an app...

    Elder Scrolls : Skyrim

    I haven't found giants that difficult to kill. They move relatively slowly, and I just back away and keep nailing them with spells. I find mammoths more difficult to kill because they move fast enough I can't get space to work. I did see a flying mammoth the other day. I was sneaking up on...

    He's not the only executive who says nutty things....or just isn't a nice person, period. But then, in most cases, execs aren't paid to be nice people. As to some of his statements being "nutty"....well, some at least, may not be looking as nutty a few more months out. Android passed iOS for...

    the tablet war is heating up

    It's out, from what I understand. I post over at Asus Transformer Tablet Forum and there have been several people posting in the last few days that their orders have shipped and some are starting to post (including photos) about theirs arriving. It looks good.....real good. Almost makes me...

    Elder Scrolls : Skyrim

    I'm thinking I'm going to just leave mine on the DVD, and take my chances. I have a spare 360 if it comes down to it. I'm honestly awestruck when I turn the game on....compared to Oblivion, the graphics are just night and day. Character models are much better, the environmental effects, sound...

    the tablet war is heating up

    That's cool to hear. The idea of having all those ports directly on the tablet is pretty cool. How do you find PDFs? Generally they work well on my Transformer.....a few seem to really choke it, and I'm not sure why....my copy of Oathbound Seven, the Pathfinder rules adaptation of the...

    Elder Scrolls : Skyrim

    I just got Skyrim yesterday and tried it last night. Fantastically immersive when compared to Oblivion. However, that bug fix references installing textures to XBox. I take it there's a bug with that? I just put the disk in the drive and started playing. Is there something like in...

    Elder Scrolls : Skyrim

    Many do...I think. Mine has a bunch of HDMI inputs as well as computer inputs.....but it's in our living room, which is in the basement, whereas the computer I have that may be capable of running Skyrim is in my office on the second floor, and it's housed in a tower casing, so it's honestly a...

    Elder Scrolls : Skyrim

    I agree....I used to be PC only, and laughed at consoles. Then I dipped my toe in via the original XBox so I could play Jade Empire and Ninja Gaiden, and liked it, and then moved to the 360 and you get used to the controller. I can target pretty well now. And there's something to be said for...

    Snowwhite and the huntsman

    I'm of the general opinion that Kristen Stewart is one of the worst young actresses of her generation, based on what I've seen of her in the Twilight movies and in interviews..... However, based on the trailer, the movie looks like it could actually be fun. Much moreso than the Julia Roberts...

    the tablet war is heating up

    As I understand it, there are several great sales on Android tablets this weekend....Transformer, A500, Lenovo, etc. Particularly the ones that came out earlier in the year. If you get the Thrive, I'd be interested in hearing what it's like. It looked really interesting initially....but I...

    Elder Scrolls : Skyrim

    On PC I've got the collector's edition original release plus Knights of the Nine. On XBox, I've got the GotY edition. I tried and tried on PC, and for whatever reason couldn't get into it....of course, at that time, there were several other games I was into...Neverwinter Nights, Knights of the...

    Elder Scrolls : Skyrim

    That's the kind of thing I don't understand....why would you get a bounty on your head? The dragon was attacking the people, and you helped stop it....you'd think they'd be grateful. Banshee

    Elder Scrolls : Skyrim

    I think this is what is gradually happening to me...I hit lvl 13 last night, and I've got main skills that are in the 45-52 range (Blade, Destruction, Restoration, etc.)....but my minor skills (light armor, armorer, lockpick etc.) are in the 9-15 range, and I'm finding some opponents hard. It's...

    Elder Scrolls : Skyrim

    I'm always leery around vampires.....I found a cave full of them near Skingrad (Bloodcarved Cave, or something like that), and killed them all....they had lots of great gear. However, I kept my saved game from right before I sent in there, because I was paranoid of turning into a vampire.. I...

    Elder Scrolls : Skyrim

    This is the problem I've run into in Oblivion, which I didn't have in Fallout 3 to the same degree. I never actually played Oblivion when it was released. I've had it since 2006, and played the intro probably 10x, but just couldn't get into it and kept putting it aside any time a more story...

    Elder Scrolls : Skyrim

    My games have usually been more simulationist. If my players had their characters enter Borovia, and heard from a villager about Strahd von Zarovich was a really dangerous vampire lord who ruled the country and stole the villager's daughter, and that the last 10 champions who tried to take him...

    the tablet war is heating up

    That's too bad. The interface certainly looks pretty online. It's *possible* that this problem has to do with how her WiFi network is set up. I'm not saying it IS...I'm just saying it possibly is. My brother found a flaw in the Android WiFi connection capability through a problem he...
